UGA extends offer to a 5-star receiver in this year’s class

UGA is setting its sights far and wide at receiver for the Class of 2017.

Bulldogs assistant coach James Coley doesn’t appear to be satisfied with the offer board at receiver at this time, as he extended an offer to five-star Los Angeles recruit Joseph Lewis on Thursday.

Lewis is rated as the nation’s No. 4 receiver and the No. 20 overall prospect for the Class of 2017.

The Augustus F. Hawkins High School star has already accepted an invite to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio next January. The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder is another example of UGA attempting to find bigger bodies at receiver under new offensive coordinator Jim Chaney.

He has also already snagged an invitation to Nike’s all-star elite prospect camp, “The Opening” set at the company’s world headquarters in Oregon. The 247 Crystal Ball reveals just how hard of a pull it will be to snag Lewis. Southern Cal has garnered 100 percent of the predictions regarding his college future up to this point.
